Optimal steeping time?

[LPacker79]

I've got a bunch of juice here with a mix date of 8/6/11. I tried out the Candy Bar (peanutty, but not much else), Gummy Worms (YUMMM), Refreshing Cantaloupe (more of a cantaloupe aftertaste), and the Cherry Cobbler (perfumy).

I then decided to use my other juices and let all my new KBV flavors steep a bit including my fresh new bottle of my beloved RKT (it looks lonely sitting there unopened).

Have I waited long enough? I don't want to be too hasty, I've still got several flavors I haven't even tested out. I'm trying to be patient, but if you knew me, you'd know that I'm really very bad at this whole patience thing.

So tell me, Oh Wise KBV experts, have I steeped enough? I'm not sure how much more I can take........

I have been vaping KBV quite awhile now and I always let mine steep at least 2 weeks and really like to hold off a month if possible. Just depends on how much stock I have.

I would say give them a spin. Many of mine have steeped since 8/4 and the flavors have married together nicely.

I'm giving my Candy Bar more steep time (born 8/8), I got heavy peanuts on first taste too (which I am not crazy about any vape with a predominant peanut flavor). Perhaps I should not have gotten it with a xtra-flavor shot.

I revisited a couple of the juices today. The Cantaloupe is more "cantaloupy" and the Candy Bar has improved as well. It's still peanutty, but now I can taste the toffee as well. No chocolate that I can notice yet, but much improved and I'm diggin it.

I haven't gotten brave enough to try the Cherry Cobbler again though. Giving that one extra time to steep. I've still got HBN, S'Mores, Peppermint Ice Cream, and two small sample bottles of Cafe Latte to try yet.

Shot KBV an e-mail and ask 'em; they'll be glad to tell ya. Or go to their site and get their phone number.

I agree. I revisited & dripped candy bar tonight...much better. I'm going to let it steep longer. From the change so far, it will probably be perfect after another week or two. I have canteloupe as well, I'll have to revisit that one now too. Thanks for mentioning that one.

If you can wait two weeks, I'd say that's the best I can wait. Though for some flavors it doesn't take too long for them to be enjoyable.

Does anyone know if Butter Cream Icing needs to steep?

 

[samuraijill]

Wish I could tell ya Kellie but I powervaped 15 mls of that stuff in about a week, when I order more maybe I will have enough willpower to let it sit around if I have enough Peppermint Ice cream to keep me busy....

so it might be better steeped, but it's really good out of the mail

Thanks I gonna give it a try it smells amazing. The only KBV jooses I let steep is Candy Bar and I cheat and put it in a glass bottle and microwave it for 5 secs for a 30ml bottle and let it cool for a couple of hours works great

Same here...Butter Creme Icing has never lasted more than a week with me either.

I put the bottle into a cup and pour boiling water over it and let it coast to room temp. doing that twice ALMOST simulates a two week steep, of course, it does ruin the label....

You're a ninja.

I MUST TRY THESE METHODS. Just got some tvr that doesn't taste like anything I have ever vaped before. No vapor, terrible flavor, mixed just 2 days ago

Recieved 30ml of 24 mg Gooey Better Cake today with extra flavor added.. My first time ordering this. I get a very strong pepper taste on the draw, is this normal?
Does it need to steep ? It was mixed 11-01.. The pepper taste is very strong.. Help !!

Well, here's what I just did.. I'm using a Boge 3.0 on a little Chibi tank on my Ego booster@ 4.7v Very peppery.
Dropped the voltage down to 4.2 and its vapable, but I still get pepper..
Anyone else or is it my "buds" ?

I hope the Be Oh Be's OMG I also got is better

I don't taste "peppery" at all when I tape GBC, but I don't get the X-tra Flavor with it, so I can't say that that isn't why.

EDIT: Also, this only needed to be posted in one thread LOL.
